Message: [QUOTE="Ozimoto, post: 4782833, member: 6677"] I don't have a whole lot to add. I was impressed by the efficiency of the offense getting to 102 points in a very businesslike manner. Not a lot of "wow" moments offensively (Q's reverse layup was cool), just efficient ball movement and good shot selection. That kind of efficiency can lead to an offensive juggernaut that can suck the spirit out of an opponent's defensive effort. I wanted to see a 60/40/90 game with a team 2.5 assist to turnover ratio. Still need to work on that overall field goal percentage and free throw shooting. ;) Paige seemed to be playing like she was trying to get two years of lost time back in one game. As Geno said, she was pressing a little bit. I expect that this will not be a problem moving forward. As for the fouls resulting from the defensive effort, they'll learn. If Nika can do it, the others can. It was really nice to see the full court pressure and it was obvious to me that Nika has upped her on ball aggression since last year knowing she absolutely doesn't have to stay on the court for 35 plus minutes. Looking at the box score, no one had more than three fouls so it really wasn't that bad. I think the next few games will be more of a test and I agree we are currently thin in the front court so rebounding will be an issue against larger teams. Ice will get more comfortable (remember she was essentially a freshman playing her first meaningful game last night) and getting Yanna back will help. [/QUOTE]
